Big Pumpkin Story Sequencing Cards

I love the story- Big Pumpkin by Erica Silverman. Its a great book to read aloud during Halloween and is perfect for practicing retelling skills. The repetitive text makes it easier for young children to comprehend the story. Its also a fun story to enact during assemblies or class presentations.

I made a set of sequencing cards that goes perfectly with this book. Use it during guided reading or simply place them in your literacy center.

Encourage young children to look at the pictures, arrange them in an order and retell the story in their own words. Emerging readers can even attempt to read the simple sentences written on the cards.

About Me

I am an educator who has taught kindergarten for 11 years and love every moment of it. I started this blog to share ideas with educators and parents and to help make learning fun and exciting for children. Apart from being a passionate teacher, I am also a beach lover, a coffee addict, a book junkie and an avid traveler. I would have been consumed by wanderlust had I not taken the plunge into the world of teaching. My life and work is pretty much determined by a beautiful quote by Maya Angelou, "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."
